I found milk from the heavens

http://www.hildebrandfarmsdairy.com/products

We go through 2 bottles a week.

I am anxious to try the Rootbeer milk too. I love rootbeer floats.

Hildebrand Dairy Milk is farm-fresh, with fuller and crisper flavor than other commercial milks. We pasteurize our milk with the HTST process, unlike our competitors who use ultra-high temperatures in pasteurization, allowing for longer shipping distances at the cost of destroying their flavor. Our milk is always shipped in glass bottles, which help preserve our unique, rich flavors.

1. That is a taunt for those of us not in Kansas

Root beer milk. Sigh. I could probably get addicted. Good for my waistline I live in Texas.

5. Byrne Dairy in Syracuse New York - Milk in glass is the only way to go!

My daughters in Buffalo did the happy dance when they found an outlet there!

6. I've become a raw milk fan

Glass bottle, not pasteurized, not homogenized, cream on the top. Felt like I'd gone to heaven on my first taste, it was so delicious. Ummmm ...... SO delicious!

It doesn't taste like root beer, though, admittedly.

(I know there are issues about raw milk. I did a lot of research before I as willing to give it a try. I've been purchasing from the same small local dairy for about 7 months now and I gotta admit, I was pretty tentative when it came to that first live taste. My grandfather was a dairyman and my mom had a HUGE fear of what she called "milk fever"' that she passed down to us. But I made the leap and I'm not going back unless forced to. I strongly suggest that anyone considering raw milk be very careful and do a lot of research before making a decision to take that path.)

I'll pass on the raw milk.  With the recent appearance of antibiotic-resistant salmonella, food safety in dairy and poultry products is nothing to screw around with.

How much does the milk cost? Is it affordable for those of us in the 99%?

She drove 14 miles (round trip) to get it.

Why do liberals hate the planet?

What's wrong with plain ordinary milk?

I dunno about anybody else, but I wouldn't contaminate good milk with any flavoring, including even chocolate.

Plain ordinary whole white milk is the best thing to sustain life and give good cheer.

The perfect food, plain ordinary whole white milk.

Me too, sort of. I was raised on fresh raw milk. I used to stir and stir trying to desolve the cream into the milk because I hated to get a lump of cream in my thoart.

Your mother, like you, is a DUmbass.  You can't get "milk fever" from cow's milk.

Milk fever is not a "fever" at all, it is a condition in dairy cows shortly after calving, when the cow's blood calcium level fall too low.

I grew up on a dairy farm, and if I had a nickel for every time I had to give a cow 1000cc's of calcium solution either intravenously or subcutaneous (in the stomach cavity), I would be retired today.

I drank it as a kid growing up. It was really good.

Now days, I get my milk the same place I get my cow meat
 
At the Walmart.

Same here. 

Too much work to "grow your own" anymore, besides, the FDA might not "approve".

Of course it is. Why else would it glow in the dark and taste like root beer?
